Ahh that's great! Good for Villo. Hope his form and recovery goes well.
Looking forward to Ryan getting back up front again.
Missed you RV! Smile

Realistically, whats everyones prediction on his return? Pala? Skip nationals?

'DIlla would be awesome.. but I'm not sure even him being back by pala is realistic.

He said in the TW vid, MAYBE Pala... I hope he waits till '11...

That sure seems fast for that gnarly surgery.

Na, apparently it was a clean break in a high flow area. Quick rod and he's good to go. He was walking around only a few weeks later.

I would think he would try to do a race at least. Who cares where he finishes but he needs the testing time outdoors for next year. He only has one race on the 450 outdoors, this could double his experience.


Either way, I'm most excited about watching him on JS7's 250.

And I remember a huge debate on here about Alessi coming back to soon. Guys come back too soon ALL the time and in EVERY sport.

Good news for RV. Let's get all the fastest guys on the track at the same time.

You're comparing Alessi's 14 day "recovery" to this?

No but I guess you are. Comprehension is the key.

Medical technology is amazing. I remember in 81 my brother had the same break as RV. Clean break in a high flow area and he was in a cast for like 4-5 months and wasn't racing again for 10 months.

I'm just stoked to here he'll be back on the bike this week. I can't wait for that 1st video. It's tough when your favorite rider is side lined. Probably tougher for me than it was for RV. Unlike RV nobody prayed for me when it happened though.

I hope he waits for next year. He should heal up 100% and come back ready. Not out of shape and trying to jump right back into it.

Agreed. The SX class will be as stacked as it has been in years and RV will need the time to be razorsharp.

Great news. Best wishes to RV.

That's what gets said every year. People still have time to get hurt in these last 4 rounds plus SX training.

Raxerx's twittter said he has been biking, swimming and in the gym. I know there is no substitute for seat time, but I'm sure a world class athlete such as RV wouldn't just be sitting on the couch waiting to get cleared to ride.

I heard RV's doc scared him half to death, showing him examples of patients who tried walking too early to keep him off of it while it was healing...so this was a guy who clearly wanted him to take his time.

If he got the green light, it's because his doc thinks it's ready for the punishment that he'll take.

I'm guessing not Unadilla, but before Pala.

SWEET, big RV sunshine pumper here!! Hope he takes it easy to prep for SuperX thus not rushing things too quick though. We need RV, RD, and JS in tip top form for SuperX 2011.

Are there really people that think that these guys sit around and eat bon bons until they are healed and then try to get back in shape?
